Original Airfix Sherman Firefly Starter Set 1:72

This Airfix Sherman Firefly Starter Set is the perfect way to get your model collection started.

As Allied forces began to move off the D-Day beaches and into the Normandy countryside, they knew they would be facing strong opposition from German Panzer units, including the feared Heavy Tank Battalions. Fortunately, they now had a tank capable of taking on the Tigers and Panthers, in the form of the Sherman Firefly, a British designed marriage of the M4 Sherman and their famous 17-pounder anti-tank gun.

In order to make identification more difficult, British crews would camouflage the front of their guns with light coloured paint, giving their tank the appearance of a standard 75mm equipped Sherman, hoping this deception would give them enough time to get in the first shot during any engagement.

Complete with painting guides, water-based acrylic paint, adhesive and a brush, this kit is a great start to anyone’s model building collection! Perfect for any beginner, the starter set is designed to be simpler to build and paint.
